Suicide I'm Desperation.
BRIDGEPORT, Feb. 3.-Victor Heisterhag-
en-, an Alsatian, about thirty three years of
age, and proprietor of the saloon in the
Kusterer block on Gold street, shot himself
in the head with pistol this morning while
in his saloon. He was a member of the
Bridgeport order of Elks. He died in few
minutes. He had been a member of the
Howe band for ten years and was well
known. His wife obtained divorce from
him about three months ago. She lives in
Fast Bridgeport. He ended his life because
he couldn't pay his landlady, Mrs. Kate
Gregory, of 10 Gold street. The two were
very friendly, and about four months
ago she furnished part of the funds that he
might start saloon. The saloon didn't pay
expenses. She frequently spoke to him
about his repaying her. His brother Adolph,
who is prosperous grocer at 10 Garden
street, Hoboken, refused to help him. In
despair he suicided. That he premeditated
the act is proven by letter found on him,

Dollars which Involves the Title to
Minnesota Real Estate.
Judge Torrance yesterday in the civil side
of the Superior court issued an injunction
against Frank A. Monson, secretary of the
New Haven Fire Underwriters association,
Charles G. -Monson of 145 Elm street, Mary
Ann Monson, widow of Alfred S. Monson,
all of New Haven, and Alfred P Monson, late

posing of q certain tract Of land in Minneso-
ia. The suit was brought by Chester Hitch

The plaintiffs on the I'd day of November,
1874, bought of the defendants some real es-
tate, building lots, in the State of Minnesota.
The plaintiffs say that the deed which con.
veyed the property to them is defective and
indefinite in description and does not under
the laws of Minnesota describe with sufficient
accuracy the layout of the property, and q
cloud therefore exists upon the title of said
premises. The deed is SO defective that the
plaintiffs cannot get it recorded. The de-
PENDANTS admit Of the Effectiveness of the
deed, but refuse to make out another one.
The plaintiffs charge that the defendants
threaten to sell the property over again.
The papers in the suit were filed in the
which are claimed $25, 900 damages and costs
of the suit. In the writ of attachment eight
pieces of real estate belonging to the defend.
ants have been attached by Deputy Sheriff

PRESIDENT DWIGHT.

HonOrS to Yale By the Boston Alumni.
At the Boston Yale alumni meeting We'd
nesday night Governor Ames congratulated
Yale upon its being university and paid a
tribute to what Yale had done for the
nation.
President Dwight, when called upon, was
received with three cheers and tiger. He
believed we were passing into a new era at
Yale, as at older universities, and he had
felt the time had come to assume the name
which belongs to the reality Of things. In
this they had friendship for other UNIVERSE
ties, but in their own community they felt
most for their own university. He felt that
in the future all those at Yale would feel
more for the common mother. If it could
be given to him to aid in this, it would be
the satisfaction of his life, the more 80 be-
| cause at the beginning of the century one
| who bore his name was at the front. If they
who, for the time being, could look for sym
pathy and help, would go on as they began,
they would see even more victories than the
fathers. [Applause.]
"Lux ct Veritas" called Professor George
P. Fisher to the front, and he said he was
| glad to have been able to bring their new
president to the board. The gentleman dep
| recated publicity to many things which are
be good to seclude men from every phase of
| life where young men ought not to GO
| Applause.
Among the letters of regret read was one
| from Senator Dawes in which he said: 81
am filled with admiration of him president
Dwight and the new field of work on which
| he enters with 40 much zeal and with such q
| common concent of the alumni and the entire
public. The future of the university must
be assured, and every alumnus of the insti
| tuition must feel q pride in it that has
| never been equalled even in the most prosper.
Gus days of the past"
Among those present were Lieutenant
Governor Bracket, Professor Goodwin of
Harvard, Revs. w. B. Wright and 81. M
Dexter, Professor z. T. Hincks, one of the
leading men of his class at old Yale about
twenty years ago, whom many in this city
remember Professors Coy, Jessup and Otis,

HE WILL REMAIN.

Mr.. william H. Conklin Decides to
Continue In the Presidency OF the
Good Samaritans SoeIety-A Large
Meeting Held-His Resignation fin
Not Accepted-Ae In Asked to Re
main I'm OMEGA New vice President
Elected.
The Good Samaritan temperance society
held monster business meeting last even
ing Seldom has more interest been mani
tested in the doings of the society. 1t had
been given out that the society's popular
president, Mr.. William 81. Conklin, was
about to resign and the many friends of that
gentleman attended for the purpose of urging
him to reconsider the step he intended tax
ing. After routine business had been trans
acted President Conklin arose and in. well
chosen words rendered his resignation as the
head of the society. He stated that for the
sake of harmony and for the good of the so
ciety, which he had tnore at heart than any
personal motives, he had taken this step.
There are two or three members with whoh1
differ in some respects, said he, and rather
than to create any dlssensions I ask to be
liberated from the Office, and do it to insure
harmony and would not for a moment remain
in Office if thought by SO doing would in
any manner cause discord. After Mr.. Conk-
lin finished speaking change came over the
members and all seemed to vie in protesting
against the resignation of their popular pres
ident. Mr.. P. F. Beirne as soon az quiet
was restored addressed the president and
spoke of the good he had done the
Good Samaritan society; how it had
prospered and grown, and of the many in
fuential friends it had gained through their
president, and in closing his remarks, which
were exceedingly complimentary and eulo-
CYSTIC throughout, he protested against Mr..
Conklin leaving, at least until the end of mis-
term, and assured him that he had the hearty
support and cooperation of the working mem
bers of the society. Vice President N. P.
Carney also spoke at length of the many ways
in which the worthy president had aided the
society, and used many complimentary re
marks. Other prominent members of the
society spoke in the same strain. A vote was
taken protesting against Mr.. Conklin resign
ing, and of the crowded hall of members
there were only three dissenters. Mr.. Conklin
seeing it was the wish of the members
finally agreed to remain in his Office. A
manifestation of pleasure seldom witnessed
greeted the announcement of his decision.
The members pressed around him, all want
ing to grasp his hand at the same time. To
say the members were pleased at the result
would be putting it mild. First Vice Presi-
dent J. A. Moore after the excitement had
abated arose and stated that he wished to re-
sign his position, and in doing SO spoke of
the pleasant relationship which had always
existed between himself and President Conk-
lin, and in conclusion spoke high words of
praise for that gentlemen. The resignation
of Mr., Moore is in nowise connected with
Mr.. Conklin's stay. NJ. P. Carney was
elected first vice president in place of Mr..
Moore.
The MANY friends of Mr.. ConkIin will
be exceedingly glad to hear that he has ds-
cided not to sever his connection with the

In your issue of last week you made a
short allusion to the supper given the
Daughters of Rebekah on the night of in
stallation; now l think this occasion de-
serves more than passing notice, so with
your permission, I will put more to it.
After the installation exercises were
concluded and our lodge had closed, we
found that our guards were captured and
we prisoners. We were soon marched to
the ante rooms, where. we found ourselves
surrounded, not by enemies, but host of
brothers, and we were invited TO be seated
at tables fairly groaning with luxuries of
every description, and hidden to eat. Of
course ao urging was necessary, and the
brothers in their white aprons waited upon
us ia such good style that the tables were
soon relieved of their burdens.
To say that we were surprised fully ex-
presses it, and our thanks arc given to the
brothers of the 1. o. o. F. who planned
and executed the entertainment, and for
;he interest manifested in our behalf as a
Rebelah Degree lodge. A REBEKAH.

Listowel Banner: The appearance
Of the tragedian, Geo. c. Min, at our
opera house, January a4th as Hamlet
and 25th as Shylock, in the Merchant
of Venice, is treat that our citizens
ought to appreciate, and give this preat
actor a full house,as an encouragement
for him to come again. Mr.. Min has
been starring in the legitimate Drama
now nearly FIVE years, has twice been
across the continent from the East
to the West, has appeared in all the
great cities and the best opera houses
in the country and has everywhere
met with unbounded enthusiasm, and
our citizens ought to embrace the
chance of seeing one Of the great
tragedians of the age right at home
for it is likely such treat will not
occur soon.
